Since we are getting chickens, I want to raise soldier fly larvae and worms to give the chickens an extra protein source – and hopefully not have to give as much feed from the store). So, I asked Kent to build me a worm bin – and he did!

We bought the Catawba Chicken Coop plans for $20. It’s a movable coop that’s pretty too! The plans contain lots of modifications and detailed step-by-step instructions. Overall, we are super happy with the result. The white bucket on the top is our new chicken waterer (Avian Aqua miser) which will go inside the coop once we get our chickens. I’m so happy with the vintage-style hardware we used.

Here are some progress shots.
